More Trump Twitter Bots

Share This →

After Trump retweeted Nicole Mincey @protrump45 it didn't take long for the Twitterverse to discover it was a fake account, a bot and just one of many created to promote Trump and sell Trump merchandise.

Many of these bot accounts were suspended because for using copyrighted photos but there are some still around. The accounts below were part of the Mincey Bot Brigade but they use generic pictures of celebrities so have avoided suspension for copyright violations.

Each of the bot accounts posted the exact same tweet as above on July 28th, pushing old merchandise left over from the 2016 campaign.

The accounts can be reported for spam and blocked. Eventually that will trigger a Twitter suspension algorithm.
